Now the patent has been granted I can shout about my brother's incredible invention he has been working on for ultra-light composite vehicles configured for energy and material conservation.
Please check out his website and feel free to share!! X
"Electric vehicles are promoted to reduce local pollution, but Woven has a better alternative to reduce overall emissions. Road cars with efficient internal combustion engines, built to The Woven Formula™, can use a lot less energy and resources." Woven Monocoque™ has significant potential for:
Reduced energy and emissions across the whole product lifecycle;
Automated, single cure-cycle, composite monocoque production;
Manufacture using recycled thermoplastics.
SOLUTION
Monocoque structures are among the lightest types of vehicle architecture and often form the main structure for racing cars and aircraft. Vehicle monocoque structures usually consist of a stressed skin body with a series of internal stiffeners that distribute the forces around the structure. Woven has turned the traditional monocoque inside out. The invention places the stiffeners on the outside of the central body which enables manufacturing processes to be simplified and beneficially reorganised. The result is an extremely efficient lightweight structure.

Latest part from the moulds...we spent many hours modifying and bringing the moulds up to a better surface finish and it shows. Initially we produced the plug and moulds in under 20 days and this meant a lot of corners were cut, this short term time saving turned out to cause headaches when it came time to prep the moulds for another canopy, now that’s a thing of the past, having reduced our demoulding time down to a little over 10 minutes with one person we were setup and ready to produce another in a day. 😍😍😍 - if anyone is interested in purchasing a canopy or potentially the moulds themselves don’t hesitate to get in contact we want to make room for new projects in the future! #composites#carbon#kevlar#aero#lightweight#auto#streamlinedesign#human#cycling

The suspense in killing me. This vacuum bag has been in front of a space heater for hours and it looks like I’ve still got a few more to go. Might need to start experimenting with faster resins. At least for the smaller bits. #composites#carbonfiber

Scaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. Contact us to schedule your appointment.

Busted another 911 mold out yesterday for the oil cooler/fan shroud connection. Going to start the part layup here in a bit as I just finished polishing the mold, applying release wax and a coat of chemical release agent. Trying a new bag type for the bagging process which should speed the process up. Fingers crossed it works well. #composites#porsche#porsche911#carbonfiber

Time lapse of the DarkAero 1 lower cowling infusion. Infusion start to finish time was around 25 minutes.

Aside from the near ideal fiber-to-resin ratio and being able to sit back and watch, we like not having to get messy with brushes and rollers like you do with wet-layup.

Any guesses on what the final part weight will be?
